Earth's Dawn

About

Earth's Dawn is a side-scrolling action RPG where you build a custom brawler to combat alien invaders. You pick skills from branching trees, craft weapons from enemy tech, and tackle missions with outcomes that shift based on your choices. Combat mixes fast melee strikes with timed dodges, requiring quick reflexes to exploit weaknesses in the E.B.E.'s armor. Each run feels distinct thanks to randomized loot and enemy layouts that keep you adapting your playstyle. The game’s stark manga-inspired visuals pair with a gritty story about humanity’s last stand. While combat loops can feel repetitive over long sessions, the deep customization lets you tailor builds to favorite tactics. Players who enjoyed Skullgirls or River City Girls might appreciate the blend of beat-em-up chaos and RPG progression. With six platforms and a 2015 release date, it remains a niche pick for fans of tactile action with upgrade systems.

Storyline

"After decades of peace, the Earth was decimated by an invasion from an alien race known to humans as E.B.E. The E.B.E. moved across the planet like a plague of locusts, consuming anything in their path and wiping out most of humanity. All attempts to fight back were futile, as the E.B.E. appeared to be resilient to every kind of weapon that mankind could offer. At the last moment a breakthrough was made: by using weaponry crafted from the E.B.E’s own technology, a weakness was discovered that could be exploited. Bionic implants were quickly developed and implanted into the most superior forces left alive, creating super soldiers capable of taking the fight to the E.B.E. A plan was devised and the objective was clear: retake Earth at all costs and drive the E.B.E. to the edge of extinction as they had once us."
